BEZANSON - It is truly unbelievable that we announce the untimely passing of our mother, wife and friend, Cynthia (Cindy) Johanna Bezanson (nee Pitzel), on Saturday, June 17, 2000 at the age of 42 years from adencarcinoma. It is unbelievable, as to know Cindy was to know a true "Virgo". She lived life to the fullest with a zeal of energy, was impeccably organized, a self-initiator, vehemently determined and competitive, ever opinionated, and balanced these traits with a compassion towards others. Cindy directed her greatest energy towards the rearing of her children, son, Aaron (fifteen) and daughter, Lindsey (twelve). Though she ended up spending so little of their lifetime with them, in that short time she instructed them diligently in their critical early years; both in the life skills they would need to "succeed", and in overcoming her passing. Cindy invariably developed many networks of friends in the communities she lived in.

Born in Humboldt, SK on August 29, 1957, she grew up in the Saskatchewan communities of Carmel, Humboldt, and Kelvington, later moving to Saskatoon while attending Business College, Lloydminster, Wetaskiwin, Calgary, Edmonton and returned to Calgary in 1994. She worked primarily in the field of Human Resources, but not solely, at Manufactures Life in Saskatoon, Lakeland College in Lloydminster, Dairy Control Board in Wetaskiwin, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Bank of Montreal Data Centre, Save-On Foods, Alberta Automobile Association, with a return to SAIT only a couple of years before her diagnosis.

We thank her many networks of friends for their support, including her longtime friends, Pam Cey, Kelly Krienke, Cheryl Gutek and Val Olsen. We also thank all the doctors including, Drs. Robert Thompson, Steve Martin, Mare Mazuryk, Martin Labrie and especially Dr. Vicky Penney for their assistance in Cindy's journey; along with the many nurses at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Home Care, Rockyview Hospital and Agape Hospice.

Cindy is also survived by her loving husband Ron; mother, Francis (stepfather, Dominique Musty-Cindy's soul mate in this disease) of Saskatoon; brothers, Alan Pitzel (Jan) of Winnipeg, Clinton (Sherry) of Shaunovan, SK, Brent (Nancy) of Wynyard, SK; and sister, Norine of Fort McMurray; and her in-laws, Bill, Anne and Maureen Bezanson of Saskatoon and Brenda Picard of Calgary, as well as by the loves of her life, her nephews and niece, twins Eric and Adam, Zachary, Ryan and Caitlin.

She was predeceased by her inspirations in life, her father Herb, and grandmother Elizabeth.

Relatives and friends are invited to Prayers and Tributes at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S "Fish Creek Chapel", (14441 Bannister Road S.E.) on Thursday, June 22, 2000 at 7 :00 P.M. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, (1414 Shawnessy Boulevard S.W.) on Friday, June 23, 2000 at 10 :30 A.M. with the Rev. Patrick J. Cramer, Celebrant. Graveside Service to follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Saskatoon, SK at a later date.¹

Bezanson (Pitzel) Cindy
August 29th, 1957 - June 17th, 2000

Last night I had a crazy dream, a wish was granted just for me, it could be for anything, I didn't ask for money or a mansion by the pool, I simply asked for one more day with you. One more day one more time one more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied, but then again I know what it would do, leave me wishing still for one more day with you. - Forever your husband Ron, Aaron and Lindsey.²
